The May 2014 Vehicle Sales Forcast is the Highest May SAAR
Since 2007

CHICAGO--May 28, 2014: Cars.com forecasts total May sales will hit
1,541,462 units, up 6.9 percent year-over-year and up 11 percent from
April. A SAAR of 16.1 million new-car sales is expected for May, an
increase of 4.1 percent from this time last year and an increase of 0.4
percent month-over-month. This would mark the highest May SAAR since
2007.

"Retail sales were very healthy for nearly all brands in May, fueled by
attractive incentives and a great selection of new models for consumers,"
said Jesse Toprak, chief analyst for Cars.com. "Among major manufacturers,
Chrysler had the most impressive performance with a nearly 15 percent
year-over -year increase in sales, largely due to the robust growth of its
Jeep brand. We expect the SAAR for the rest of the year to track between 16
and 16.5 million units, finishing 2014 with approximately 16.1 million
total new light vehicle sales."

Amidst record-setting recalls, GM is expected to see only a modest 3.4
percent increase in month-over month sales. As a result, in part, the brand
is projected to lose 1.3 percent of its U.S. market share, compared to the
previous month.

Retail sales are projected to account for 81 percent of total automotive
sales this month, down 0.5 percent from April and up 1.2 percent from May
of last year.
